Correct. Sorry, the correct number is four, Herold, Mudd, O'Laughlen and Mary Surratt.
Booth was also born in Maryland.
Surratt was a convert to Catholicism, O'Laughlen and Mudd were also Catholics and a few others were Catholic ( Jesuit ) educated, not greatly surprising given Maryland's religious history, but it gave rise to one of the more colourful conspiracy theories, which persists in the internet and elsewhere.
Surratt was a cousin of F. Scott Fitzgerald's father.
And O'Laughlen? I can find little on his ancestry, except that his family had been in America for a few generations, but I would be surprised if he didn't have Clare connections.
Your turn, Fear Connallach.
